How wouldyou activate100,000 Angelenos
for a better LA?

LA2050 is a community-guided initiative driving and tracking progress toward a shared vision for the future of Los Angeles. With the support of 30,000 Angelenos, we’ve outlined an aspirational vision centered on five goals and 60+ metrics tracked over time to evaluate how Los Angeles is faring. We’ve supported 42 great projects to shape a better LA via the My LA2050 Grants Challenge.

The My LA2050 Activation Challenge is an open call for ideas that will activate 100,000 Angelenos to make LA the best place to learn, create, play, connect, and live.

A total of $1,000,000 will be awarded among five organizations to implement their ideas to engage Angelenos. Each organization will receive a total of $200,000 (over two years) and partnership from LA2050 in support of their efforts.
